12 minutes max to destroy Israel-Pak commander

Pakistan is capable of destroying Israel in under 12 minutes, a senior army commander said.

General
Zubair Mahmood Hayat, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, was
quoted by AWD News, as saying, "If Israel tries to invade our land,we
will raze the Zionist regime in less than 12 minutes."

General
Mahmood Hayat is on record as saying that he was not an anti-Semetic and
was candid enough to admit and acknowledge that there is a need fro
Pakistan to change from within first, rather than worry about what other
countries thought of it.

Speaking in support of the Palestinian
cause, he said, "I don't agree that Jews are our (Pakistan's) enemies
either. Zionism and Judaism are two very different concepts. To simplify
things, all monotheistic beliefs are from the same maker which renders
the fight over religion pointless; hate will only brew more hate. This
is a fight for human rights who everyone has the right to defend."

He
further said, "Pakistan itself has a tainted slate when it comes to
human rights. But it wouldn't get any closer to making amends by forming
an alliance with Israel either. And, as for improving Pakistan's image
externally, well, maybe, we should focus on procuring a change from
within first and then worry about what image others have of us, " the
muslimcouncil.org.hk web site quoted him as saying during his interview
to AWD News.

Historically, he suggested that Israel has always
had a trust deficit with Pakistan, and to substantiate this view, he
referred to an article appearing in the daily The Jewish Chronicle in
1967 in which Israel's Founder David Ben Gurion was quoted, as saying,
"The world Zionist movement should not be neglectful of the dangers of
Pakistan to it. And Pakistan now should be its first target, for this
ideological state is a threat to our existence. And Pakistan, the whole
of it, hates the Jews and loves the Arabs. This lover of the Arabs is
more dangerous to us than the Arabs themselves. For that matter, it is
most essential for the world Zionism that it should now take immediate
steps against Pakistan."
Ben Gurion was further quoted, as saying, "Whereas the inhabitants of
the Indian peninsula are Hindus whose hearts have been full of hatred
towards Muslims, therefore, India is the most important base for us to
work from against Pakistan. It is essential that we exploit this base
and strike and crush Pakistanis, enemies of Jews and Zionism, by all
disguised and secret plans."

This famous quote has never been verified and many Israeli academics dispute its authenticity.

However, it is a well-known fact that Israel is not favoured by Pakistan.

He
said that over the years, he had heard many arguments regarding the
Palestine-Israel conflict, but the point that needs to be noted is that
"human rights violations are rife despite Israel portraying itself as
the beacon of freedom in the eyes of the international community.

"Israel
would have you believe that Palestinians are all terrorists and it's
only defending its citizens from suicide bombers and Islamic extremists.
The reality however is very different,"he added.

When asked
whether it 'would it be in Pakistan's interest to recognise Israel, like
countries who already have such as Egypt and Jordan?' General Hayat
said, "I would have to say no; not because of the Muslims versus Jews
debate, or the ties many people have to the third most holiest site in
Islam, Al-Aqsa Mosque, but based more on a human level."

"We
cannot let our names represent an apartheid regime and ethnic cleansing
of Palestinian people. We should push for peace in one of the most
complex conflicts of our time, and simultaneously hold Israel
accountable for its actions - something which the UN repeatedly fails to
do," he said.
